February 23, 2016 SENATE DEBATES

Sen. Ndiema Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I join my colleagues in congratulating the Senator for Mandera on his nomination to this important organization. Sen. Billow Kerrow is committed and steadfast. On issues of national importance, he has remained committed and non-partisan. I believe that he will be the best...

Sen. Ndiema Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I think these three petitions are well- founded and rightly here because they fall within the mandate of the Senate. Looking at the Petition from Bukhayo, it reminds me of a ward in my county, Trans Nzioa, where I visited to view projects and...

Sen. Ndiema Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, these petitions show that there is failure in systems. There are quite a number of counties, looking at the reports, where the auditor has gone for auditing but the county governments have refused to give documents to the auditor. The case in point is...

Sen. Ndiema Thank you Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I thank the Senator for Kakamega County for coming up with this Bill. It is now clear where county headquarters should be. The next step should be to facilitate these county headquarters to be what they should be. We know some are...

Sen. Ndiema Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I support this Motion on the approval of the Members to the Sessional Committees. These Committees play an important role in as far as the functions of the Senate are concerned and in particular the performance in our counties. As we stand...

Sen. Ndiema Thank you Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. On the issue of implementation, this House has passed many Motions. However, we have not seen any implementation. I recall there is one on fertilizers and animal foodstuffs which was assented to and there was a body which ought to have been...

Sen. Ndiema Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to know what the Government is doing about that.

Sen. Ndiema Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is also important to ask whether we are ready for such occurrences in future. If it is true that every other time after five years we have the problem of IDPs, is the Government prepared to avert such occurrences so that we do not...

Sen. Ndiema

Sen. Ndiema Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I sympathize with the whole situation. When we read the Report in the Committee, it was clear that there was negligence and it was not satisfactory. I appreciate the mood of the House and, therefore, we will go back and seek further...

Sen. Ndiema Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this Motion noting that, initially, we kind of had a false start in the creation of this fund. However, now that the PSC has deemed it fit to make sure that there are funds for it, then it is only...
